ABOUT
The opinionated recollections of events relevant to New Zealand during 1925-35.
A short political and historical book written by the New Zealand author and trade union figure George Fraser—a distinct, opinionated perspective on the societal friction that transformed New Zealand during a highly turbulent decade.
The tongue-in-cheek title Ungrateful People reflects the establishment's perspective on the working-class New Zealand public during the Great Depression. Despite the conservative Reform and United governments believing they were doing enough, regular citizens grew increasingly "ungrateful" and resentful of harsh economic measures, culminating in public anger, protests, and major urban riots between 1925 and 1935.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome drawings by Dennis Turner.
